Not sure if it is a good thing, but women in China have much priviledge, if you got into rape dispute in China with a woman, there will be no such thing as circumstantial ambiguity like in the west, the man will face harsh social criticism before any detail would come to light. But for sure the harsh laws for common people only, high ranking commies can rape anyone they like regardlessly to age, it is still happeningtoday. Do not ever forget however commies try to look good and ever they do in the public to look good, they are by nature rapists and paedophiles.
China leads the world with its female entrepreneur power
Chinese women are showing that, as Mao once famously said, they do indeed “hold up half the sky.” Millions of inspiring female entrepreneurs have transformed society by smashing through glass ceilings in their respective industries. Among them are China’s biggest live streamer, Viya, who has made her way to the top of a billion-dollar industry, and record-breaking YouTuber Li Ziqi, who has shown off rural China’s charm to the world. Meanwhile, TikTok lovers have Zhang Nan to thank as the CEO of one of the world’s most valuable unicorns and TikTok parent company, ByteDance.
Women in China are rushing ahead when it comes to entrepreneurship; China is home to an astonishing two-thirds of the world’s top female billionaires. However, women are still lagging behind in the political sphere, especially at the most senior levels of China’s political system. Just one woman holds a position in the 25-person Politburo, the Party’s top decision-making body.
AWID: What hurdles do feminist activists face from both the Chinese government and culture?
CY: Firstly, "men and women are equal" is the main discourse in China. However, this prevailing discourse and the progress achieved in gender equality in the last half century has been misinterpreted that there is no gender inequality at all, resulting in the mindset among some policy-makers and the general public that there is no need for efforts to promote gender equality and women's rights. This overall insensitivity and lack of actions to address gender inequality has become the hurdle that feminist activists face.

I still don't think that east asians are very feminist though, at least certainly not as much as in the Western Countries. They also tend to ignore vegan activism, veganism is for the most part a very anglo-saxon white western thing.

East Asians can still be rigid in their customs even if the presence of organized religion is not particularly strong. Part of rationality is critical thinking and challenging conventions even if they are widely accepted. Unlike the West this is generally stigmatized in East Asia. With many ancient customs relating to spiritual practices (e.g. ancestor veneration) this helps to explains why irreligion does not typically manifest as militant atheism in East Asia.
East Asians may have an advantage in social pragmatics, which is rational thinking but in the context of sustaining relationships rather than efficiently achieving concrete objectives. According to the Lewis Cultural Model East Asians are the typical reactive cultures, which are more compromising and able to hold off confrontation to maintain social order. It is suggested that Finns have some similarities, although more Western.
"Even when representatives of a reactive culture begin their reply, they are unlikely to voice any strong opinion immediately. A more probable tactic is to ask further questions on what has been said in order to clarify the speaker’s intent and aspirations. Japanese, particularly, go over each point many times in detail to make sure there are no misunderstandings. Finns, although blunt and direct in the end, shy away from confrontation as long as they can, trying to formulate an approach which suits the other party. Chinese take their time to assemble a variety of strategies which would avoid discord with the initial proposal."

While East Asians are less expressive of their own emotions, they are more receptive of others emotion than more linear-active Western cultures. Germans, the typical linear-active culture are comparatively hard-minded and factual. Unlike East Asians not only do they tend not to let their emotions get in the way of an objective, but they are also much more willing to disregard the counterproductive emotions of the other party. In a objective-oriented versus relationship-oriented context Germans may be more rational than East Asians.

Yes, they are some of most irreligious/secular societies around. But they aren't militantly atheist like western progressives and cultural/moral norms of confucianism, buddhism and taosim (that are more of philosophical systems than religions) remain very influential in everyday life and customs to this day and there is no sign that they will stop being relevant anytime soon.

Why there are so many anglo-saxon atheists obsessed with veganism?
Is that related to some kind of savior complex?
